Leonardo da Vinci. “Mona Lisa”

The portrait of "Mona Lisa" is one of the most famous works of the Italian Renaissance painter Leonardo da Vinci, painted in the early 16th century. It depicts a woman in three-quarter profile. She is endowed with a graceful, enigmatic smile that seems dynamic and changes depending on the viewer's perspective, making her face alluring and enticing.

Mona Lisa is dressed in a black dress with long sleeves and delicate lace. Around her neck, a pearl necklace is visible. The woman's gaze is directed straight at the viewer, as if she is looking deep into their soul, evoking the feeling that she knows something unknowable. She appears so realistic and lifelike that her eyes seem to sparkle, and her face is filled with emotions and vitality.

The background of the painting is done in gray and blue tones, which gives the portrait a special depth and mystery. Behind the woman's shoulders, a landscape with a river and distant mountains is visible, creating a sense of space and distance. Light and shadow play a special role in Mona Lisa's image, giving her volume and relief.

Leonardo da Vinci's artistic mastery is evident in every detail of the portrait — from the subtle strokes on the face to the transitions between colors and reflections of light. He used a technique of blending paints and various layers to create depth and realism in his works.

Mona Lisa remains an object of admiration and study for many artists, historians, and art enthusiasts. Her mysterious smile and enigmatic gaze continue to captivate viewers, compelling them to turn to her with new levels of admiration and questions, trying to delve into her depths and understand the secret of her mystical charm. The painting's enduring appeal lies in its ability to evoke wonder and curiosity, inviting endless interpretations and fascination with its timeless beauty and magnetism.

As for the interesting facts about the painting, «Mona Lisa» does not have clearly visible eyelashes or eyebrows. In 2007, an engineer used high-resolution images to show that the painting originally had visible eyebrows and eyelashes, and they gradually disappeared over time, possibly due to excessive cleaning

Microscopic numbers and letters are drawn into the pupils of the Mona Lisa. They can only be seen with the help of special equipment. This is believed to be the date the painting was completed and the initials of the artist.

When painting the picture, da Vinci severely damaged his vision due to the fact that he meticulously painted with strokes with a magnifying glass
